That’s a nice pragmatic and limited march towards progress you’re making Hu Jintao. It would be a shame if someone were to…
Turn it into an (even more) authoritarian dictatorship
You get purged, and YOU get purged
You all get PUUUURGGEEEDD
Everybody look under your car!
Damn, setting aside the China Bad hysteria, this is pretty big news
China expels second-highest ranking general, 8 others over corruption
According to the ministry, the Central Military Commission (CMC) Discipline Inspection Commission, the PLA’s top anti-corruption body, investigated the officers and found they had violated Party rules and were suspected of serious crimes involving large financial misconduct. The offences were described as having an “extremely serious nature and egregious impact.”
Imagine living in a country where top officials actually get investigated and removed for wrongdoing.
Must be nice.
That depends. Were they really investigated because they did something wrong or rather because they were no longer useful politically or because they dared to oppose Xi?
Imagine a president who found corruption in his administration and decided “corrupt officials aren’t useful, they should be removed”.
They were trying to start a coup with the US. So Xi purging the generals also sets back his plan to invade Taiwan.
